Borrowing an idea from my favorite blogger (www.sherylyvette.com), here's a list of this week's accomplishments and upcoming challenges,
This week's top 3 accomplishments:
1. lake swim: Tuesday morning's swim showed me that I've got courage and stamina. Everything about the morning took courage:
· \swimming in a new place and a new medium
· donning a wetsuit (I'm grateful for the lack of mirrors at the beach – no one else did or would have criticized me, but I would have ripped myself to shreds)
· accepting that I am imperfect and slow (I'm grateful for the guard who asked whether I'd be back next week and assured me I'm welcome – THANK YOU for that!)
2. vegetables: This week I treated my body to vegetables!
· dinner salads: It started when my Wonderful Husband made a dinner salad. The next night I made a dinner salad that spilled over into the next day's lunch!
· snacks: When snacks were called for, vegetables to the rescue. I enjoyed taking the time to prepare vegetables, knowing that on our little outings I could be proud of what was in our snack cooler. And last night I even munched on celery (thank goodness for hummus).
3. blogging: This week's writings haven't been the most inspirational, but I'm proud of taking time each day to think about nutrition and to put forth the effort to sort through my thoughts.
Challenges
1. birthdays: One house, three weeks, three birthdays. Factor in friend and family parties, and that's a lot of cleaning, company, birthday cakes, and party food.
2. heat: Hot, humid weather wreaks havoc with my innards, and all I want to do is curl up somewhere and sleep. Despite this, I still need to prepare healthy snacks, workout in suffocating air, and keep from becoming a train wreck.
All in all, I'm excited!
